What If Everybody Ran? Yes, even you.

Yesterday I hit up the store for a few things and bought myself two cute lil flowers. I’m going to try and plant them, so I’m pretty excited. I’m sure they have an official flower name but I shall call them Bart and Lisa.

Strawberry snack on the way home from the store…

Did you get a good night’s sleep last night?

I did. I had a weird dream about a grocery store and one of my friends, but I won’t go there.

love this “if everybody ran” post! i’m with you on zero beers, always mimosas. and fun-colored shoes make every run better.
no plants here, as i’m sure i’d manage to forget about it/kill it/throw it out in 2.5 seconds in my NYC apartment, where i have to keep my running shoes right in the middle of my bedroom floor at all times to be sure i know where they are. a plant wouldn’t stand a chance.

I sleep like a baby. Not a good thing…they wake up all the time wanting to eat or needing to pee. Not cool. This morning I woke up feeling exhausted. Yesterday morning I got up finally after having woken up every 90 minutes or so, with at least 1 dream in each of those 90-min segments.

If I can remember right away, I’ll write down my dreams and then go back and look at them a couple days later. Hilarious!

My boyfriend and I had a plant named Harold (I didn’t name it haha. he did). We had to give it away when we got a cat though because whatever kind of plant it was is poisonous for cats. Oh wellll, I always forgot to water it anyway.

That’s an awesome campaign! I love it. I think you should have stuck with your sleep comparison to a corpse because it’s a myth that babies actually sleep. As per my fitbit, I wake up on average 23 times per night.

I had a lot of cacti, I had this one for like 7 years and then someone gave me an amaryllis that fell over and killed it and I’m still a little bitter about it. Right now I have one of those “plants” that’s essentially just a long vine that takes over your entire office (Google tells me it’s some kind of philodendron), it’s name is Pauly Plant since a dude named Paul gave it to me. I’ve had it for 5 years!

I do name my plants – currently the only one indoors really named (and my geek will totally show now) is a money tree called Tyrion after Tyrion Lannister, from “Game of Thrones.” Last season he was appointed Master of Coin (something like treasurer of the court) so, yeah…

My housemate’s cat see plants as a salad bar. I’ve had excellent success with succulents, though. I’ve got a Stag Horn cactus that has gone absolutely nuts this year. I haven’t thought to name any of my cactuses yet…I think I’ll call the spiky one Pokey, and then I’ll call my Aloe plant Gumby.

I have never successfully had an indoor plant. But usually each spring I plant some marigolds, petunias and or impatients around my tree in the front of my house. And I stress every day as they get wiltier and wiltier until finally they pretty much die. The petunias tend to hang around longer. I blame it on the soil. Staten Island is very much clay. Not enough nutrients. That’s my story and i’m sticking too it =)

I have a mini Christmas tree plant that is named Milton. My mom got him for me for my birthday one year when I was away at college and couldn’t pick out a tree with the fam (mom FTW). I also have some random plant at work that I named Walter. I later realized our VP is named Walter. Awkward. I need a new name for him.
